The Journal, however, took a look at the situation among Muslim in the U.S. and found:
# Most Arab-Americans aren't Muslims. Only 24 percent of the 1.2 million Americans of Arab descent are Muslim, and most of the rest are Catholic, Eastern Orthodox or Protestant.
# Most American Muslims aren't Arabs. One third are of South Asian descent, 20 percent are American blacks and just 26 percent are Arabs.
# Muslim advocacy groups say there are more than 6 million Muslims in the U.S. But the most credible study to date estimates the total Muslim population at 1,886,000.
# 59 percent of American Muslims have at least an undergraduate degree, making them the most highly educated group in the U.S.
# American Muslims comprise the richest Muslim community in the world - four out of five earn more than $25,000 a year and one in three makes more than $75,000.
# 82 percent are registered to vote.
# 64 percent of American Muslims are foreign born, but the overwhelming majority arrived here legally.
# 21 percent of American Muslims marry a member of another faith.

"On the contrary, America's Muslims tend to be role models both as Americans and as Muslims."
